What Have You Done Today - (Computer Version)

Had a bit of a scare last night.

I purchased new ram, Just a slight upgrade on my 64GB 3200mhz Corsair Vengeance LPX. I found a great price for 64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 3600mhz. When I installed it my PC wouldn't boot properly and would constantly bluescreen. I do have 2 updates I could do to the BIOS could that be it? I'm unsure if I want to reinstall it now I've stopped the bluescreens and using my old LPX again. I thought my PC was done. It said it needed repair and all the fun BSOD stuff. Thankfully I installed my old RAM disabled XMP and since then its been fine.

I bought a new USB Type-C to HDMI adapter, since I misplaced my original one. I was hoping this was going to finally allow me to use HDMI and not DisplayPort. Sadly... it doesn't. So it looks like I'll be rocking DisplayPort on my main PC. Unless there is DisplayPort that is faster, I'll stay with my old .onn DisplayPort to HDMI cable.

I'm told DisplayPort has better bandwidth and specifications over HDMI, but the DisplayPort to HDMI cable I use is slightly slower than what my PC monitor shows. Maybe I'll need to find a better cable or a decent adapter.

Looking for a new case. I like Be Quiet! stuff so I got my heart set on one of theirs. I already have a BQ! Cooler and PSU and I'm very pleased with them.

My choices at the moment are between -

LIGHT BASE 600 DX​

LIGHT BASE 600 DX | Black silent PC cases from be quiet!

Exceptional from every angle

www.bequiet.com

PURE BASE 500 FX​

PURE BASE 500 FX | Black silent essential PC cases from be quiet!

IMPRESSIVE LIGHTING, EXCEPTIONAL AIRFLOW

www.bequiet.com

I prefer the Light Base 600 DX but the Pure Base 500 FX comes with 4 Included Light Wings fans which are about £50 for a 3 pack of 120mm ones. Seems like a great deal.

Anyone have any experience with BQ! cases?

The Pure Base 500 is a fantastic case. I've built in a few of them now and really like it. Looks great, has great thermal performance and the RGB looks awesome.

I've found BQ! products to be really nicely made with great documentation and attention to detail. Lots of little things which make it easier during the building process. Reminds me a lot of Fractal but at a lower price.

Pure Base is the one I'm most likely going for at the moment. A PC shop owner I know swears by BQ! stuff. Especially the coolers

Pure Base RGB with a Dark Rock Elite would look amazing!
